Forget about the air fresheners that come in aerosol cans. As far as that goes, forget about the fresheners that plug into an outlet and the ones that stick under your cupboard or drawer. The fresheners that sit on the table or counter and occasionally spew out a puff of deodorized air...forget about those too.

Albert Einstein once said : "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
